Self-Publishing Your Book
A ​Virtual Seminar

So you have a book you're looking to self-publish? Some of the most famous authors in history self-published their books and today there are more options to do so than ever before. But the process is different than submitting the book to a publisher. How do you find the right printer? What do you need done? What about cover-art and formatting? How do you sell the book once it's printed? The publishers of Local Gems Press go over the self-publishing process.
